Hull House

1. What ethnic groups live in the neighborhoods bordering hull house? Are they representative of the major groups immigrating to the United States at the beginning of the twelfth century?
The Hull House has indefinitely helped various ethnic groups live and grow communities in Chicago helping them contribute to the ethnic and religious diversity in Chicago. Some of the ethnic groups that still live in the area surrounding Hull House today are Italians, Germans, Bohemians, Canadian-French, and Russian Jews. In the City of Chicago today, there still are thousands of immigrants that live in the thirty block area of the Hull House.
These groups were definitely among the majority that immigrated to the US in the early twelfth century. To this day, they are spread throughout the city. If we were to go south of Twelfth Street, there are many German, Polish, and Russian Jews that still live in that area. In the northwest side of Hull House live many French Canadians, and then if were to go North of that area there are many Irish and first-generation Americans who live there. 2. What are characteristics of most of the housing described here?
Housing in the Hull House neighborhood was in very harsh conditions. The establishment of this was the beginning of revolution in “slums” of the city. There was a lot of dirt on the streets which really was dangerous, there were not enough schools for the children, and the streets were in miserable conditions. There was not a sewer system and hundreds of houses in those communities were not connected to the sewers
However, the Hull House itself was a very nice building in the middle of the slums. As an elegant piece of architecture, the Hull house had each corner of Halsted covered with its building. In addition, the building featured a gym and a museum. 3. What is Jane Addams’ opinion of the job government was doing in addressing the living conditions of the immigrants? Jane Addams opinion of the job the government was doing in addressing the living condition of the immigrants was a very poor job. She believed and argued that if immigrants received education and guidance, they would be able to live like Americans and become very good members of the community. Instead, they are being neglected in society, not being given the proper education and guidance required in order to succeed.
Addams also believed that immigrants were very good for America. Although they were ignorant to their duties in society, they were very hard working. After the beginning of Hull House, Addams started a campaign against the sweatshops and for better working conditions. In addition, Addams worked hard to ensure that immigrant children were not employed in such sweatshops. All of these were some of the many things that Addams did to address the living conditions of immigrants. 4. In what ways are the descriptions given here typical of many large cities in 1911?

The descriptions given here are of many typical large cities in 1911 because of the growing population that was happening. Cities like Chicago, New York, and Boston were becoming very congested. Immigrants from all around the world were coming to find opportunities they would have. Dirty streets, sanitary issues, bad lighting, and sewer systems had become major problems for big cities including Chicago. Some areas were a little bit maintained, but if you went to other areas they were not maintained at all.
Immigrants of that time really experienced difficulties as far as having a clean neighborhood to live. Jane Addams also helped in conditions like this. While serving at hull house she had a garbage incinerator installed, there were brutal conditions and rats running around where children played. A major accomplishment of James Addams was also that she that was the first garbage inspector in the City of Chicago. While doing the job she had requested the city to build a sewer system as well because of the major problems of garbage and rubbish on the streets.

They were farmers, hardworking men who embraced pessimism only when discussing the weather and the crops. There was too much sun, or too much rain, or the threat of floods in the lowlands, or the rising prices of seed and fertilizer, or the uncertainties of the markets. On the most perfect of days, my mother would quietly say to me, "Don't worry. The men will find something to worry about." Pappy, my grandfather, was worried about the price for labor when we went searching for the hill people. They were paid for every hundred pounds of cotton they picked. The previous year, according to him, it was $1.50 per hundred. He'd already heard rumors that a farmer over in Lake City was offering $1.60. This played heavily on his mind as we rode to town. He never talked when he drove, and this was because, according to my mother, not much of a driver herself, he was afraid of motorized vehicles.

[Reword to make sentence flow better] You can smell the peanuts and see the floor covered with peanut hulls. You have a choice of sitting at a table, a booth or sitting at the bar.

However, to our surprise the entrees arrived before appetizers and I just had a gut feeling that everything would be downhill from here on and believe me it The correct side orders were not with the correct main dish, everyone had ordered steaks; but not the same kind of steak nor were they to be cooked to the same degree. The worst problem was with my mothers’ order, which was a T-bone steak to be cooked well-done (no one else ordered a T-bone) [unnecessary/irrelevant] and her order came back rare. As the saying goes, “a picture is worth a thousand words”, you should have seen my mother’s facial expression when she inserted her knife into her steak and blood oozed out; she was literally seething with fury and ready to walk out and E-mail the corporate office that night.

...“As the House of Lords has existed for about six centuries without reform, some alterations have become necessary in order to bring it into conformity with the changed institutions by which it is surrounded.” – Lord Rosebery, 1884.1
Since Lord Rosebery’s well-known speech there has been much debate about changes in the composition of the House of Lords. Major reforms included the Life Peerages Act 1958 and later the House of Lords Act 1999, which reduced the hereditary members to 92.2 Nevertheless, constitutional experts such as Rodney Brazier argue that the House of Lords continues to be “unelected, unrepresentative and unaccountable.”3 The Coalition Government is therefore working on another reform bill to provide for a wholly or largely elected second chamber. This essay will argue that such a drastic change from a largely appointed to an elected system is too unrealistic to be implemented. Instead, the Government should seek to abolish Prime Ministerial patronage as well as the remaining hereditary members and adopt an independent Appointments Commission that appoints all the members of the upper chamber. To arrive at this conclusion, we will need to analyse which selection method best retains the Lords’ expertise, as well as their independence and representativeness. Then, a discussion follows whether the Lords necessarily ought to be democratically elected to provide a legitimate chamber. Lastly, the possibility of a mixed chamber will be considered.

This is the research design for the comparative/experimental study named as “Rice hull as an Alternative Substitute to Coconut Charcoal”. This contains the blueprint of the tests needed to conclude whether Rice hulls can equal or surpass Coconut as charcoal in different aspects.
Test 1:
In this test, we will compare the durability of Rice Hull Charcoal to the Coconut Charcoal, and the maximum temperature achieved in the performed test. In this experiment, durability of the rice hull is defined as the length of time it can sustain the maximum temperature.
Variables of this test:
Independent Variables:
Type of Charcoal
Dependent Variables:
Maximum Temperature
Durability
Control set-up:
To test whether Rice Hull Charcoal is good enough to contest Coconut Charcoal, The Control set-up would include a pot, 2/4 full of water, thermometer, and electric fan.
Experimental set-up:
The experimental set-up would include Rice Hull Charcoal instead of Coconut Charcoal in the same weight. All the other variables, such as the pot, amount of water, thermometer, and electric fan will be the same.

...noted that in the mid ‘90s, the main administrator of government-subsidized housing finance programs, the National Home Mortgage Finance Corporation or NHMFC, was considered technically insolvent and irreversibly illiquid.
“The corporation incurred net losses of P64 million in 1993, which increased six-fold by end of 1995 to P340 million. The fiscal impact of these losses was huge,” Ballesteros said.
Problems with government housing finance persist, with the Government Service Insurance System (GSIS) putting on hold its housing loan program in 2011 due to total unpaid loans of P11 billion for 17,000 house-and-lot packages nationwide.
It had been providing housing loans since 1954, previously to GSIS members only but later began extending loans to developers.
The institution eventually went into real estate development, buying land and building houses and selling these as house-and-lot packages.
GSIS did not have adequate manpower to support its various financing activities, however, which resulted in its failure to collect payments.
As of mid-2014, GSIS reported that its housing loan remedial and restructuring program had only restructured about P1.5 billion worth of accounts covering 3,000 borrowers.
Ballesteros said that, moving forward, more effective institutional and policy changes have to be made.
Subsidy interventions in the financial system, for instance, should be focused on low- to middle-income households, or those who are able to fulfill obligations......

Summary
In “Consider the Lobster” David Foster Wallace points out morality of animal abuse by animal-like humans. Wallace gives example as lobster and the Maine Lobster Festival. The Maine Lobster festival cooks about 25000 thousand pounds of fresh lobsters and it’s the world’s largest lobster cooker festival. Wallace tries to convince humans that it is not right to boil live creature for humanistic pleasure. The author also thinks it is not moral or ethical behavior to. Lobsters are cooked alive; Wallace expresses his feeling about Lobster, and the pain they go through. It shows inhumanity and torture lobsters experience. However some people believe that lobsters are not humans, so they don’t feel any guilty eating lobsters. Wallace sounds so depress and he also says, “Gourmet readers should also consider moral status and suffering that animal involved.”
RESPONSES
David Foster Wallace’s Essay, Consider the Lobster has raised a great point. How Humans treat animals, especially in America. I really enjoyed reading this essay. Being a vegetarian I am really impressed by the author’s writing. Wallace is not telling people to become vegetarians or vegans. Many people think lobster don’t have brain so they don’t feel pain. Wallace states that “It is difficult not to sense that they're unhappy, or frightened, even if it's some rudimentary version of these feelings,” showing his knowledge of...

With preparations already underway for next season, hope springs eternal. Not only is Radford stronger and wiser for the ups and downs of this year, but so too are his youthful squad. Finishing outside the play-offs will most definitely not be an option in 2015 given so much more is at stake. Onwards and upwards you might be forgiven to say…
It’s fair to say worry set into the minds of the fans even in pre-season. An away draw at partner club Doncaster was followed by defeat at Bradford and a 54-6 demolishing at Featherstone in Richard ‘Superman’ Whiting’s testimonial match. Despite this, Hull FC claimed the season’s early bragging rights winning the pre-season ‘friendly’ derby. Inconsistent results even in January set the tone for the rest of the year, with the palms of many supporters planted into their glum faces.
An inspiring start to the Super League season it may have been, but 2 wins out of the first 5 matches wouldn’t suggest this on paper. A nail-biting opener against the Dragons on a cold February night at the KC gave debuts to 5 players plus a somewhat cameo return for a certain Garreth Carvell. 2 tries from Kirk Yeaman and a stunning 70m try from Jordan Rankin got the season off to a flyer, with the assistance of a conversion miss by Thomas Bosc after the final hooter which would have brought the teams......

...History

Date
Concerning numerous researches that have been conducted, it was found that Hull House was a form of settlement house that was located in the United States of America and it was co-founded in 1889.Besides that, the co-founders of this form of the settlement were Jane Adams and Ellen Gates Starr. Various forms of analysis reveal that this form of settlement is based in the Near West Side of Chicago in Illinois [1]. This form of settlement opened its doors to the various forms of newly arriving Europeans immigrants. Over numerous years, Hull House had the capabilities of attracting some of the brightest women in the nation. However, the residents were able to form the network of reformers who use to operate at the state, national and local levels. Besides that Adams a, Starr, Julia Lathrop, Alice Hamilton and Sophonisba Breckenridge used to reside in that form of settlement scheme[2].
In their stay at the Hull, House women began carrying out various forms of activities such as sociological studies of the nearby conditions with an aim of developing sociology as a field. However, various forms of reformers were able to set out various forms of programs that were used to address the poor working environments, low wages, poor sanitations, malnutrition among other problems. This led to the emergence of a class of reformers who began to agitate for the passing of reform legislations[3]. By doing this, the women were in a......

...In Twenty Years at Hull-House (1911), Jane Addams writes about immigrants from a different perspective; in her social work at a settlement house in Chicago, Addams lived and worked among immigrants. Addams describes immigrants as people who have come to America ignorant of their duties to society, but who nonetheless have potential. She argues that with education and guidance, immigrants can be taught to live like Americans and become contributing members of American society. Her vision is an example of the "melting pot" model for accommodating immigrants. Twenty Years at Hull-House's having been a bestseller indicates that Addams' views were popular with the American public.
Hull-House once stood in the suburbs, but the city has steadily grown up around it and its site now has corners on three or four foreign colonies. Between Halsted Street and the river live about ten thousand Italians--Neapolitans, Sicilians, and Calabrians, with an occasional Lombard or Venetian. To the south on Twelfth Street are many Germans, and side streets are given over almost entirely to Polish and Russian Jews. Still farther south, these Jewish colonies merge into a huge Bohemian colony, so vast that Chicago ranks as the third Bohemian city in the world. To the northwest are many Canadian-French, clannish in spite of their long residence in America, and to the north are Irish and first-generation Americans. On the streets directly west and farther north are well-to-do English-speaking families,......
